#273 - Chapter 273: Trouble at the Sub-base
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot, much quieter due to a silencer, reached their ears!
They remembered!
The Green Source Base used this type of silenced weapon when eliminating zombie hordes and during routine defense and cleanup of the outer perimeter!
Could the Green Source Base people finally be here!?
They exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
Compared to earning points, safety was of course paramount!
"Let's go, we need to hurry over there!"
Brother Li suggested, thinking that if they were quick, they might be able to snag some more credit.
At this moment.
At the entrance of Residential Area 1.
It was indeed the Green Source Base security team that had arrived.
Among the dozen or so personnel, five or six were holding rifles and pistols, cautiously advancing inside. Seven or eight Level 3 personnel followed closely behind, armed with machetes, crossbows, and other weapons.
One of them was using a stick to knock on things, trying to lure out the zombies inside to quickly eliminate them.
The main base's monitoring room had been observing the situation in this residential area and knew that the infection wasn't too severe. Except for a few people who had been bitten or scratched by zombies that appeared from nowhere, most were hiding indoors, afraid to come out.
Now, they just needed to quickly eliminate the zombies in the residential area to quell the crisis.
******
Residential Area 3.
The situation here was similar, except there were no brave individuals like Brother Li and Brother Liang who dared to step forward and actively kill zombies. Most of the survivors here were hiding indoors, watching the situation.
(Chen Gang and Wang Wei from Residential Area 1 had already been transferred to the branch base)
The Green Source rescue team had just arrived here and began clearing the appearing zombies.
Inside one of the rooms.
A man with a sinister expression stared through the window at the Green Source personnel killing zombies outside, letting out a sneering laugh.
Inside this room, bloodstains had mysteriously appeared everywhere!
As if a murder had occurred here!
The sinister man saw that the Green Source personnel outside had left only two people guarding near the gate, while the others had gone deep into other parts of the residential area to clear zombies.
He took out a walkie-talkie from who knows where and said with a strange laugh:
"Area 3 internal, we can move!"
......
"Area 3 outside is ready, we can start anytime!"
"Ok!"
The sinister man put down the walkie-talkie and took out something from his waist.
It was a pistol!
After releasing the safety, he leisurely walked towards the door of the room.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he immediately put on a panicked expression before walking out of the building and approaching the two personnel guarding the gate.
"Save... save me! There are zombies over there!"
He pretended to be chased by zombies, quickly approaching the two guards.
As expected.
His words and actions attracted the full attention of the two guards. Both had pistols, and their eyes glanced over the "disheveled" man, cautiously staring in the direction he had come from, preparing to face the zombies that might appear.
"Bang!"
A gunshot different from the silenced ones rang out!
One of the guards lowered his head in disbelief, looking at his body. A bullet hole had appeared, and red blood quickly soaked his clothes!
"Bang!"
Another gunshot.
The other guard didn't have time to turn his gun around before being shot again by the gun-wielding bastard!
They couldn't react at all, and they never imagined that this survivor from the residential area, who had been running from zombies just moments ago, would pull out a gun and shoot them!
Thump!
Both fell to the ground, their life quickly fading away.
The sinister man, who had been "escaping" just moments ago, stopped pretending, revealing a triumphant sneer. He quickly ran to the closed gate and opened it without any hesitation!
Clang!
He ran outside without looking back!
Outside the residential area, accomplices who were already prepared threw a device at the entrance of the residential area, and a piercing ringtone sounded!
Further away, some ragged figures began to rush towards this direction!
!!!
The team members inside who heard the gunshots and the piercing ringtone had just rushed back when they saw the open gate of the residential area and the two guards lying in pools of blood on the ground.
Some running figures were already approaching in the distance!
"Close the gate! Damn it! Hurry!"
A former base security member roared with his eyes about to burst, rushing towards the gate like a madman!
The zombies were about to come in!
What on earth was happening!?
Why were their people being killed, and why was someone attracting zombies here!
******
Residential Area 1.
A similar scene was unfolding here!
At the gate, several people lay on the ground, and two suspicious individuals were running away with all their might outside the gate!
Some zombies, who had been lured near the residential area ahead of time, began to run towards the direction of the sound!
There was also the smell of flesh and blood coming from there!
The situation was extremely urgent!
"Close the gate!"
The team member who arrived at the gate at full speed didn't even look before pulling the gate and desperately trying to close it, but the zombies outside had already arrived, pushing against the gate trying to rush in!
"Get some more people to help! It'll be troublesome if the zombies get in!"
The team member didn't care that the sound would stimulate the zombies outside and shouted loudly!
If he didn't block the gate immediately, he would be torn to pieces by the zombies first!
Hearing the sound, more team members and residential area survivors rushed over to help, using all their strength to block it. After a lot of effort, they finally locked the gate again!
"Phew——"
The team members felt like they had used up all their strength in just a few minutes, it was a feeling of relief from a sudden mental relaxation.
"We can't relax yet! Everyone, get up and defend!"
One of the former base security members stood on the high platform by the residential area's wall and saw that there were actually more and more zombies approaching outside!
He took a closer look at the outside of the wall and saw that a large patch of bright red stuff had been splashed there at some point.
It was blood!
Someone was plotting against them!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was shocked by his own thought.
Although there weren't many zombies outside now, only about a hundred, they could solve them with a little time.
But they couldn't stand the zombies that were still coming from outside!
They were trapped here!
******
Green Source Main Base.
Monitoring Room.
At this time, the security member who was originally on duty was standing aside, covered in sweat. In front of him, there was a group of base leaders!
They were all checking the monitoring screen in front of them, especially zooming in on Residential Areas 1 and 3, which were already in chaos, and zombies were running in from outside!
Bang!
"Someone is indeed playing tricks!"
Father Qin slammed the table hard, staring at the monitoring screen with a face full of anger.
On other screens, some monitoring could also see some vehicles speeding away, using some method to attract a lot of chasing zombies behind them!
The direction they were going was towards several residential areas and their main base here!
All the leaders had ugly expressions. They never imagined that someone would do such a thing at this time!
"It's obvious, someone wants to make trouble, deliberately luring zombies over to frame us!"
"But the more this happens, the less we can panic!"
"Relying on our current walls and weapons, they definitely can't get in!"
Wang Yang also stood up and said at this time, his face was also not good-looking. As a member of Green Source, and one of the leaders, he was also very angry when he encountered this situation of being stabbed in the back.
Everyone present was angry, but not chaotic, because it was true as Wang Yang said, relying on their tall walls and weapons, even if someone was plotting something, it would be difficult to threaten them.
Didi Didi!
At this moment! The walkie-talkies carried by several people rang.
After Chen Junchi and Qin Guoqiang connected, news that made everyone's hearts turn cold came from inside again.
"Help! Zombies have appeared at the branch base!"
!!!
